Comments on: 40 Days for Becoming a Better Person http://www.careerjockey.org/40-days-for-becoming-a-better-person/ Ride you career hard so it doesn't ride you Tue, 24 Jan 2012 19:43:31 +0000 hourly 1 By: Laura Marks http://www.careerjockey.org/40-days-for-becoming-a-better-person/comment-page-1/#comment-748 Laura Marks Mon, 22 Feb 2010 01:47:38 +0000 http://www.careerjockey.org/?p=2099#comment-748 Jorge, I've been soul-searching and mentally filing the do's an don't's for Lent myself and wondering what to give up... however, since going on Weight Watchers last year, I've given up almost everything already. Your note on "doing something" v. not doing something has struck a good note in my mind. I've taken up praying more lately, driven, of course, by something drastic as is most often the case, but have found myself giving thanks, more often than not. Taking the few minutes to converse with God occasionally (regardless of which incarnation a person chooses) allows you the mental space and "silence" that is rarely afforded us in our complex lives. Regardless of what form your (the universal "You") prayer takes, try it over the next 30+ days. I can only hope to come out the other side a better person, but if I can be a better human being, it's worth those precious minutes. Jorge,

I've been too busy this year and had almost forgotten Lent started tomorrow. I really should do something more serious than nothing at all. Thanks for keeping me honest.
